This is a hard one to read and it's not clear what the book is trying to be: a big-data marketing document, a technical reference or an educational set of examples. The technical examples further in are solid, but throughout the book you need to work through a lot of long sentences to get to the information.

This book should be compulsory reading for anyone with an opinion on climate change and CO2, in particular any University-level Environmental course. It strips away a lot of the emotions and politics and gets down to facts and science. It's worth buying just to read the chapters that debunk the famous hockey-stick atmospheric CO2 curve and discuss the real temperature profile of the Earth over the last few thousand years. There's an enormous amount of climate education contained in 500 pages and even if you disagree with parts of it, the book gives you a lot to consider.
